London-based Adam Brown launched Orlebar Brown as a tailored alternative to men’s shapeless boxer-style swim trunks in 2007. Crafted from the finest French fabrics, each pair of shorts is composed of 20 individual pieces meticulously constructed into one of five signature silhouettes. In 2013, Orlebar Brown expanded to include women’s swimwear as well as resort separates that easily segue from sunny days at the beach to sunset strolls.
